SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 649,866, dated May 15, 1900.

Application filed December 16, 1899. Serial No. 740,497. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BASSETT, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, resid ing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paste-Oups,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a paste-cu p or mucilage-holder.

The invention consists,substantially,in the construction set forth in the subjoined specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Like reference-letters designate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a top or plan view of the cup with the cover removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan view of a modified construction in which the brushholder is made removable. Fig. 5 is a vertical transverse section of a cup shown in Fig. a with the cover in place. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective of the brush-holder removed,with part of the side broken away to show the interior.

The paste-cup or mucilage-holder proper, which is adapted to receive paste, mucilage, or other similar material, is preferably made of glass or other similar material of the desired shape and is designated in the drawings by reference-sign A. In connection with this paste-cup proper there is provided a chamber extending entirely across the full diameter ofthe pastecup. The width of this brush-chamber is just sufficient to entirely receive the brush, but its length is equal to the inside diameter of the cup, and it is intended that the brush shall be of such alength as to be included within the brush-chamber when it is placed therein in a diagonal position, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, or, in other words, the brush is of a length corresponding to the distance on a diagonal line from the upper edge of the brush-chamber to the diametrically-opposite lower corner there- Figs. 4, 5, and 6 of the drawings.

of. This brush-chamber is also adapted to contain water to keep the brush moistened.

The brush-chamber may be erected upon the body of the material forming the cup, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings, or may be a removable chamber, as shown in In practice it is believed that the constructionhaving the brush-chamber removable will be found preferable.

A suitable cover 0 is employed to inclose and protect the paste-cup, and in View of the fact that the brush is entirely inclosed within the brush-chamber the cover may be placed immediately over the cup and so that its under surface is in practically the same horizontal plane as the upper edge of the cup.

It is obvious that variations may be made in the details of the construction above described without departing from the spirit of the invention.

WVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A paste-cup or mucilage-holder, comprising a chamber adapted to receive the mucilage, paste or the like, in combination with a brush chamber or holder arranged to be received within said mucilage-chamber and extending diametrically across the same, the upper edges of said chambers being flush with each other, whereby a brush disposed diagonally in said brush-chamber is wholly received therein and a cover for said chamber and holder arranged when in position to come in close proximity to the upper edges of said chamber and holder, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A paste-cup or mucilage-holder, comprising a mucilage-chamber, in combination with a brush-chamber of substantially the same depth and diameter as the mucilagechamber, and adapted to be removably received therein, whereby a brush disposed diagonally within said brush-chamberis wholly received therein, and a common cover for said chambers, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A paste-cup or mucilage-holder, com prising a mucilage-chamber, in combination with a brushchamber removably received hand, this 9th day of December, 1899, in the therein and extending diametrically across presence of the subscribing witnesses.
